My mothers family were all killed by the Nazis. Her family included many Rabbis and Cantors who managed to hide prayer books and other items including this Torah which was found in the basement of a library which became Nazi Headquarters. It was returned to my Mom and Dad who had migrated from Colombia South America where they had escaped to, and subsequently to America after I was being harrassed by other students for being the only Jew in the only school in town, run by Priests - The torah arrived in the States days before their death.At least they got to see it. I donated it, and It now sits at the entrance to Congregation Agudath Sholom, In Stamford, Ct. FW
